UNSPSC 50535512: Dried non GMO triumph persimmons

The variety of non GMO persimmons known as non GMO triumph persimmons that have been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50535512 Dried non-GMO triumph persimmons is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring broad grocery and food-service products spanning breakfast items, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, baked goods, and prepared meals. School districts and county health agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of activity through National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program contracts. State agencies and municipal purchasing departments also appear as buyers. The scope spans both ingredient-level procurement (fresh apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus) and finished goods (packaged meal boxes, prepared senior meals), with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition compliance, and allergen restrictions (no nuts or nut oils) appearing consistently across school-based opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline, requiring LINQ School Solutions system integration and blind testing of samples at vendor expense. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date and delivery to three school sites. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with a July 13, 2026 response deadline, citing a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a June 25, 2026 deadline. The code shows no direct activity under dried persimmons as a discrete line item, indicating the UNSPSC classification may not reflect actual procurement patterns in state and local food service contracting.
